Jobbeschreibung

Job Description

To support our research in the field of "eXplainable AI," we are currently searching for a master's student (m/f/diverse)starting as soon as possiblefor a duration of6 monthswith a strong interest in applying explainable AI to a real-world application in autonomous driving in the AI lab Berlin. The regular presence in the office is highly encouraged.

As the AI systems developed for Autonomous Driving become more complex and transition towards large-scale end-to-end pipelines, inner functionality and encodings become even less transparent than in traditional AI systems.Recent approaches from the field of explainable AI (xAI) might help include transparency levels in these models, yielding valuable insights about learned and applied information.

The thesis's goals can be summarized as providing a better understanding of current AI models for autonomous driving, retrieving failure cases, and performing an xAI-based in-depth error analysis.

Your tasks will consist of:

• A profound literature review on existing approaches for explaining AI-based systems in autonomous driving
• Implementation and Adaptation of state-of-the-art algorithms in explainable AI
• Planning and Execution of scientific experiments
• Documentation of scientific results, as well as software documentation
• Communicating planned experiments and results to all stakeholders
• Contributing to our active research exchanges inour young research-focused team of students (m/f/d), Ph.D. students (m/f/d), and Ph.D.s (m/f/d) at our AI Lab Berlin

Additional Information

• Our group offers a nice, friendly, and inspiring environment for performing research
• Support and close collaboration with experienced Research Scientists
• High-performance GPU infrastructure to conduct excellent work
• Excellent location in downtown Berlin at "co-working space AI Campus"
• Ability to join journal clubs, networking events and technical exchanges on the campus
• Together with our team, you will have the chance to apply and enhance your skills and let our robotics applications come alive in Berlin

Diversity, Inclusion & Belongingare important to us and make our company strong and successful.We offer equal opportunities to everyone - regardless of age, gender, nationality, cultural background, disability, religion, ideology or sexual orientation.
